Not for me, RB all the way.
Well, since LARP isn’t an Olympic sport yet…
Fucking liberals all over this Olympic flag. Some of them are … SOCIALISTS!
Oh God, this is where I cry.
Interesting collection of flag bearers. Ali did make it!
Have the Olympic Flag bearers always been an international group? I figure they would be sports greats from the host country. Surprised to see Muhammad Ali there. Wow!
Steven Redgrave the final torch bearer. Winning 5 gold medals in consecutive games gets you that gig.
Just starting on East Coast US
Yeah! Love the cauldron,
Loved the Pink Floyd there at the end.
Congrats! Spot on.
Cheers. He’s a good turn and all that, but it’s all a bit ‘wedding reception’ now.
Did they have to choose “Hey Jude” as the closing song, though? Well, I guess that it’s very easy to get everybody singing to it, but it is a bit of a repetitive thing at the end, no?
It’s going to make the javelin competition a bit tricky if they leave that massive flaming inferno in the middle of the stadium, surely? I accept I may have missed a bit
I would have been happier with ending on the Pink Floyd, fireworks and intercut images thing, but I suppose an end of party sing-a-long is … traditional.
Not going to be picky though, it was brave, bonkers, bloody good.
Wow, that sucked. Tedious and overbearing. You know that London has hosted two Olympics since the Industrial Revolution?
This Daniel Craig bit is very odd.
Early scores from Down Under:
Meredith: “those kids don’t look sick…”
:smack:
“I don’t know if that is cute, or creepy…”
The understatement of the night.
